In the days of the VIC-20, there was a magazine on cassette that was published in Houston. I remember going over the their house once to meet them. I think the company name had "FOX" in it.
Does anyone remember anything like this?

Re:
Thank you very much -- I missed this, back then, and only recently found it via a Google search.dragos wrote:yes, it was called Fox-20. I have several issues.
I am still trying to track down issues of the VIC-NEW NEWS newsletter which had my first published program, back in 1981 or 1982.

I'm reasonably sure I have a couple of FOX issues too... need to transfer them at some point...

I recently found my old cigar box of VIC-20 tapes, including a few issues of FOX 20. Are these already archived somewhere, or is this something I should try to preserve?

I honestly don't think most, if not all, of them are preserved, so I say go ahead and try!

I have the first three issues (#1 was called VIXEN, then they changed it to FOX 20).

Thanks! I contacted him and will be getting him the tapes. There was a December 1982 issue, as well, so it will be good to see one more item on that page updated.srowe wrote:Bombjack has some of the leaflets but not the actual tapes

Wow, he has a wealth of information. I was hoping to find the VIC-NIC NEWS in his newsletter section, but no such luck. That quest continues!
